calling all cowl lovers

I should be home right now. However, I took my annual trip out west and decided to spend an extra day in San Francisco with a great friend. (That's Noreen!)We did a bunch of fun stuff which of course included a trip to ImagiKnit. Allison couldn't be nicer... oh, how I love knitters.Of course, a bazillion photos where taken of the city and the bridge. (And everything in between.)I mentioned I would be talking about this fantastic book. Unfortunately, since I am en-route, I have no other photos than this to show you. (Sorry!) I can tell you that there are a bunch of cute cowls in this book. (Forty to be exact.) They range from quick and easy on chunky yarns to a little more advanced with intricate designs on finer yarns. Some are knit in the round, some back and forth. Lace, cables, striped. Really, a cowl for every cowl lover.

If you are interested in receiving a copy please leave me a comment between now and September 27th at 12 p.m. EST and I will have the random generator draw a name.

Oh Leslie- what a fantastic trip! I love cowls! I am working on right now...http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ThePomegranateGrl/jindabyne-cowl I sure would love to have a book full of them! Have an awesome trip!

Ha! There you are, at Crissy Field. I hope you enjoyed it here in San Francisco. ImagiKnit has a pretty amazing collection. Also...I just learned that ArtFibers is opening back up, here in the city. I've missed them and I'm thrilled. They might even be open now. You didn't get there before me, did you?

I'm ALL about Cowls! I haven't seen that book yet...! Hope to win. What a nice cheer up that would be (I'm on modified activity until I give birth - at least only about 10 more weeks to go.. but boy are they going slowly!)

p.s. The other day I was looking at a Chatelaine magazine and Debbie Travis was on the front. I assume you know who she is...anyway it dawned on me that you look like her an awful lot. Just a random thought for you lol

So glad you had a chance to have some good time to yourself, with a good friend and some yarn! (And so envious, too.) The book looks great, but no need to enter me - I'm up to my ears in patterns! Just glad you're having fun out in the wide world!

Very intersested in the COWL girls book. My son's friend sings in the COWgirls choir and had much success in Toronto this summer. She is on tour in Ireland right now...what a great idea if I did one of these for her for Christmas...I think she would love it as she is also a "cowlgirl"...it all ties in!! (or it does for me).Good stuff, love the blog!!Happy ,happy days in San Fran (how jealous are we).

This looks like such a great book! I love everything that covers the neck, as I have short hair and the Mistral wind can be quite chilling, even in the Mediterranean climate:-)Thank you for the giveaway!Daniela from France

Looks like you're having a blast! I haven't been to SF in years but it's definitely one of my favorite places to visit. Love the photo of you with camera in hand. Have a safe trip back and a wonderful weekend!

Trying to knit a caplet in the round, and keep knitting it twisted. My knitting group keeps telling me I am advanced beyond my ability to mobius "sp?". Will cowls work like that? Thanks for the chance at this book and possibly a new adventure.
